Al Pacino and Oscar Isaac lean into a deep hug before locking into a firm, respectful hand grip at 'In the Hand of Dante' New York premiere
Al Pacino and Oscar Isaac shared an affectionate and high-energy greeting at the New York premiere of 'In the Hand of Dante' at the Tribeca Festival on June 10, 2026. The two acclaimed actors leaned into a deep, warm hug before locking into a firm, respectful hand grip for the flashing cameras. They capped off the fun interaction with massive smiles and lively banter, showcasing a strong bond of camaraderie and mutual admiration.
The premiere took place ahead of the movie's limited theatrical release scheduled for June 12, 2026, which will be followed by its global streaming debut on Netflix on June 24, 2026. Directed by Julian Schnabel, 'In the Hand of Dante' features a genre-bending, dual-timeline storyline where a modern scholar named Nick Tosches (Oscar Isaac) gets entangled with a dangerous mafia underworld after being hired to authenticate a stolen, handwritten manuscript of 'The Divine Comedy'. This gritty narrative mirrors the historical journey of the legendary poet Dante Alighieri himself (also played by Isaac) as he agonizes over writing his masterpiece in the 14th century. Alongside Isaac, Al Pacino stars as a wise mob elder, leading a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, Jason Momoa, and John Malkovich, with Martin Scorsese serving as both an executive producer and an onscreen mentor.
